is delay on LCD's noticeable?

Um yeah- that's where response time factors in. It's how long teh pixels take ot respond from white to black and black to white. What u typically want so ghosting as it's called is at a minumum is 25ms response time.

when i play a movie or playa game i dont notice it. but in not a hardcore gamer either. go to your local monitor store and ask them to play a fast dvd on the monitor, and if its it does not ghost, then its fine

I recommend visiting a CompUSA or Circit City and see if you can find a PC running a movie. I saw MIB on a new Sony flat screen and the delay is unmistakable.

If you're looking for a LCD for any kind of video (games or watch DVD's or TV) I recommend waiting a few months. Mitsubishi announced in January a breakthrough that dramically improves image delay.

It works by forcing the response time of the actual crystals with high or lower voltage differentals, then tappering the voltage difference off once the liquid crystal gets closer to the desired brightness. The article I read (I think it was in extremetech.com) said this LCD technology would start hitting the market around Q3 - and making a splash in Q4.

If my response is brief and vague its because the info you provided is too!

Haha, nevermind. I didn't realize that was your sig.

Jack Burton is a great man...

I think Flame found one. Bascially it says the same thing though as that's the only info that has been released about it. However, you should start seeing LCD's with this technology pretty soon, like after 2 or 3 months probably from what I have been hearing.

Hehe, 20ms? Once FFD is implented, try like 10-15ms. I didn't hear or read this anywhere, but am assuming. For one, Viewsonic is announcing new LCD's that will be released very soon, one they say that has a response time of 11ms.

FFD doesn't change the times for rise/ fall, but it drastically reduces response times for the grey shifts. Man, if that 11ms LCD has FFD and is 17" or more w/ good viewing angle and all, it's mine. Where'd u get that info?

Were you talking about the VG700 they showed at CeBit 2002? It has 16ms response time.

Sig of the week.

Yeah, hehe, noticed after I posted. If it doesn't cost more than $1500 it'll be mine

Sig of the week.

It should be soon, I mean if they already have them built and all, I hope within a month.

Sig of the week.

I doubt they'd be using FFD, but u never know....Viewsonic does tend to use technology before everyone else. We'll see.

Sig of the week.

Well I still think response time would be black to white, white to black, meaning the response times would stay the same if u had 2 identical lcd's, except one using FFD. But if lcd's were to have single digit response times and ffd, u can bet they would replace even gamer's monitors very fast at the right price, and of course design*drooling, thinking of S81 design/ N50*

Rise/ fall times will still be in the 30's (that is liek 30 ms rise) for grey- grey...
